there are only 4 million members of the nra. there are 80 million american moms and we are going to be a force to be reckoned with. >> john: i like your math. how do you think you can go up against the incredibly huge gun lobby who have spent millions of dollars to buy off politicians in dc? what will it take to get through to them. >> people said that money would dictate the outcome of the presidential election, and what actually determined that election outcome were women and mothers. we're going to do the same thing for gun control. i suggest if you ask a legislator who they tell you who they're scared of, it will be a mom and not the nra j how do you think president obama has been on gun control over the past four years. >> i am very pleased that he has now since the sandy hook shootings come out with a proposal. the hard part is getting it passed. we would ask that it is brought to the floor as a comprehensive piece of legislation. that it's heard and voted on, that we do not dilute, delay or debate this. it is time for com
